COLLEGE PARK, MD. — North Carolina allowed its first goal in nearly 500 minutes of men’s soccer action Friday as top-ranked Maryland used a goal from Schillo Tshuma in the first overtime period to win 1-0.
Patrick Mullins made a run down the flank in the 98th minute and entered the box before firing a shot, which was deflected by Tshuma into the back of the goal.
The Tar Heels (11-2-1, 4-1-1 ACC) had a chance to put away the match in the final minute of play when Rob Lovejoy was dragged down in the box, giving UNC a penalty chance.
Lovejoy took to the spot and fired a waist-high shot to the left side of the goal, but Maryland’s (13-0-1, 6-0) Keith Cardona guessed correctly and made the save.
The rebound kicked out to the left side of the box, where Verneri Valimaa sent a shot on target that Cardona saved as well.
Peace: Zane Hill has been hired as the men’s soccer coach. The program will play its first game next year. Hill played his college career at Virginia and has coached in the area at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary and for the Triangle United Soccer Association in Chapel Hill.
